Background
Nowadays, we can see more and more electric vehicles in the streets than we used to do. Electric cars have many obvious advantages comparing to gasoline cars. For instance, Tesla, as one of the largest electric vehicle manufacturer, has earned a reputation from customers. It is also important to know that all the models that Tesla has sold were electric vehicles. This means that electric vehicle business has started to get prosper.
By this notion, I would like to check the distribution of electric vehicle charging station to get a better understanding on how convenient it would be for electric vehicle owner to recharge.
From the map, we get a even clearer view on how the electric vehicle charging stations distributed in California. They have two heavy centers at South(Los Angeles and San Diego) and North(San Francisco). And there are more charging stations when it gets closer to the coastal area.
It was not hard to find that the electric vehicle charging stations in Canada also have two centers on East and West coasts respectively. And the stations in Canada are more densed when it gets closer to the U.S. border.
From the map we can see that Non-Networked charging stations are more likely to be distributed in the east coast area than the west coast.
In this map, most of the owner-unrecorded charging stations are densed in coastal areas and big cities. On the other hand, the rest of the charging stations, which are more likely to be owned by the government would sit in the areas between the commercial charging stations.
